Panama officials warn that as many as 60,000 migrants are heading to the U.S. border

DEL RIO, TX – The Biden administration has been facing a lot of heat over their immigration policies over the last year, and now the President may be losing one of his strongest supporters, the liberal news outlet CNN.

Democrat leaders all over the country have spent the past year trying to force as many people as they can to get vaccinated against COVID-19. In order to make this happen, they’ve teamed up with the leftist media to try and silence anyone who dares to question what’s actually in the vaccines, to begin with. That’s why Dr. Carrie Madej can be described as the leftwing establishment’s worst nightmare. She’s one of the few people who has actually had the chance to examine what’s really in the vaccine vials that are being forced into the arms of millions of people,...

The Senate parliamentarian has nixed Democrats back-up plan for getting immigration reform into a sweeping spending bill, handing them a second huge loss in less than 10 days.Democrats had pitched parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on legalizing millions of illegal invaders by making a change to the date. But MacDonough told Democrats that the option was a non-starter, according to a copy of the guidance obtained by The Hill. Democrats are pursuing other back-up plans with the Senate referee, according to a source familiar with Democrats’ strategy. Changing the registry date is a “weighty policy change and our analysis of this issue...

In this interview, Vandana Shiva, Ph.D., discusses the importance and benefits of regenerative agriculture and a future Regeneration International project that we'll be collaborating on. We're currently facing enormously powerful technocrats who are hell-bent on ushering the Great Reset, a World Economic Forum (WEF) plan, which will complete the ongoingtransfer of wealth and resource ownership from the poor and middle classes to the ultra-rich. Perhaps the most well-known of the individuals pushing for this is Bill Gates who, like John Rockefeller a century before him, rehabilitated his sorely tarnished image by turning to philanthropy. However, Gates' brand of philanthropy, so...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday sought to bar state agencies from assisting the Biden administration with its immigration efforts, including the transportation of migrants. “Except as otherwise required by federal or state law, no Executive Agency under the direction of the Governor shall provide support or resources to, or in any way assist, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or any other federal department or agency, federal contractor, or non-governmental organization, in transporting to the State of Florida any aliens apprehended at the Southwest Border,” DeSantis wrote. According to DeSantis’s order, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and...

Source: Photo Credit: Rep. Tony GonzalesTake all of the imagery you have seen of the over 14,000 Haitian migrants camped under an international bridge in the small Texas border town of Del Rio and add the complications of disease, public excrement, unbearable heat and heightened frustrations. It has led to violence that has injured Border Patrol officers. Now close your eyes and imagine it is 100 times worse. Because that's what it is, said Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales, the freshman Republican who represents 42% of the border. The overwhelmed city of Del Rio had been in a rapidly deteriorating crisis...

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is spinning as fast as he can. But no matter how he tries to wave away the crisis at the border, his appearance on “Fox News Sunday” illustrated how this administration is deceiving the American public. Here are some of Mayorkas’ biggest whoppers: Lie 1: “Approximately, I think it’s about ten thousand or so, twelve thousand. It could be even higher.” Lie 2: “What we do is we follow the law as Congress has passed it.” Lie 3: “We have enforcement guidelines in place that provide the individuals who are recent border crossers who...

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) criticized President Joe Biden and his administration’s handling of the ongoing border crisis. McCarthy expressed his concern with the open border policy, which he warned is exacerbated by the mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, which led to the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners. McCarthy asserted that Democrats created the problem, and now they choose to “ignore it.”

The Biden administration on Monday renewed efforts to shield hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States as young children from deportation, proposing to do so via regulation, the latest maneuver in a long-running drama over the policy’s legality. The proposed rule attempts to satisfy concerns of a federal judge in Houston who ruled in July that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was illegal. It takes on heightened importance as prospects for legislation have dimmed. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, an appointee of President George W. Bush, said the Obama administration overstepped its authority and...

On Sunday, Sunday, on New York WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) ripped President Joe Biden’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. Blackburn told host John Catsimatidis that Biden, through his “open-border policy,” is “turning every town into a border town and every state into a border state.” “I think the thing we’re hearing most about in my office right now is what is going on with the southern border because it is amazing that we see this president with his decisions turning every town into a border town and every state into a border state,”...

In the Western world, we use “BC” and “AD” to denominate the two major time periods in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. I have come to think that, in our current situation, those same initials apply to “Before Covid” and “After Death,” referring to the death of our most precious liberties that were taken from us beginning in March 2020. As I write this, I can no longer even imagine a world in which the news of the day, in every blog, newspaper, and media outlet, isn’t dominated by the Chi Com Fauci Flu. It seems like, no matter how...

First, you see them then you don't. Now appearing at the White House for a limited engagement, Joe Biden and his sidekick Kamala, just performed a magic disappearing trick that would make David Copperfield jealous. One day, 13,000 Haitians were crammed under a bridge in Texas, waiting for entry into the good old U.S.A. Night fell and the curtain came down. When America awoke the next morning everyone was surprised to discover that the Haitians had vanished. Where did they go? Only the shadow knows. They disappeared right before our eyes. When queried by the crack White House reporters, Press...

Iron County in Utah is about the furthest thing from a border community. But Sheriff Kenneth Carpenter says incidents like a traffic stop this month on the interstate, where a deputy nabbed a motorist for reckless driving and found 5 pounds of methamphetamine and $8,000 in cash, are results of the chaos on the U.S.-Mexico boundary. State officials have warned sheriffs that Honduran gangs have stepped up drug trafficking along the Wasatch Mountains, Iron County’s SWAT team callouts are “way up” and deputies are finding more guns when they serve search warrants, Sheriff Carpenter said. “Since the border’s been just...

Lie 1: Homeland Security Mayorkas and VP Harris say “The border is closed.” We can see, on Fox News, that illegal immigrants from all over the world are flooding in from Mexico....“The borders are not open,” Mayorkas said. “If you come to the US illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed.” Lie 2: Border Patrol on horseback “whipped” Haitian migrants. After trying to stop Fox News’ drone from filming the camp, Biden realized it had an optics problem. So Border Patrol used horses as crowd control on the rocky riverbank. Lie 3 At least 100 Americans were...

On CNN's State of the Union today, host Jake Tapper got off quite the zinger to end his interview with DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Mayorkas had lavished praise on the Border Patrol, describing their "heroism," and saying he has been "incredibly proud to work alongside them." To which Tapper responded, "The nice words you said about them, you should probably share with President Biden, not just with me today."Zing!

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas on Sunday expressed support for US Border Patrol agents who are disciplined by the Biden administration, pledging to hire them if they fear that their jobs are in jeopardy. During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked Abbott to respond to the videos and images that showed agents on horseback charging at Haitian migrants near the Texas border, which elicited a torrent of outrage from many across the country, including President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and many members of Congress. Abbott immediately laid blame on the president, criticizing his administration...

As Biden administration officials scramble to contain the political fallout over a surge in migration at the border, they have made a series of false or misleading claims, capping off a summer of bending the truth to avoid controversies. From Afghanistan to the economy to the border, President Joe Biden and his top aides have often attempted to deflect criticism of their policies by providing inaccurate information to the public, with varying degrees of success. Here are some of the less-than-truthful claims offered up by the Biden administration since July....
